Thank YOU!!!!!! for all your hard work!! I have never tried any python scripts before this. Worked wonderfully for me!! Windows XP for me!

I get Amazon gift certificates cause family just doesn't "get" that just cause I have an ebook reader does not mean I can read the ebooks at Amazon - even if I tell them to go to Fictionwise. I also get Amazon gift certificates when I use my cc points. Now I can use those to buy ebooks at Amazon... I am SO thrilled!! Thank you again!

Laura, just check first and make sure you're not buying Topaz titles, as yet there is no "fix" for those.

My understanding is that if you look at the product details and it doesn't list a file size, then it's Topaz. If there is a file size listed, it's Mobi.

Edit: Yes, all the files I've downloaded for K4PC have had a .prc extension, and I've downloaded both Topaz and Mobi files.

That's an indicator, but I've also heard that is not always true. I've not experienced it personally though. So far all the books I've purchased from Amazon have been mobi either by using the above method or by luck.

.prc is the mobi format. For some reason I was thinking it was EReader.

You and I both. Just when you think you have it down they go and twist things up again.

Apparently on the kindle itself the files are the way you described them azw or tpz. Since I don't own a Kindle I don't know. I do know how they appear in Kindle for PC and for some reason they chose .prc as the extension for both topaz and azw formats.

I have actually bought a normal encrypted book and had success with the script and I downloaded a sample of a book I knew to be tpz and sure enough the script told me that it was beyond it's ability because it was tpz.
